OIL-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 113, 1M5.

Original application filed December 8, 1908, serial No. 483,639. Divided and this application filed December 20, 1809. Serial Ito. 534,077.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Fnnonmox CONRATH, of St. Paul, Ramsey county, Minnesota,have invented'certainnew and useful Improvements in Oil-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to oil stoves or-heaters, adapted for various purposes but de signed particularly for use in freight carsv tion, Fig. 2 is'asimilar view" with t e chirnney tilted to allow access to the burner, Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the hinges or pivots by means of which the chimney is attached to the stove.

The subject matter of this application was included in my pending grpplication filed December 9, 1908, Seria o. 466,639, and wasdivided out of that application.

in the drawing of this present case, 2 represents ,7 the stove containing the usual oil reservoir and provided with a burner 3.

l is a chimney, preferably of metal and in the form of a frnstnxn of a cone, though any other shapefimay he employed it prelerred. as, for instance, the opposite walls may he parallel instead of tapered, so that the chimney orstach will he the same diameter at each end. The chimney is secured by hinged devices arranged on, each side thereof. Each of these hinge devices comprises an ear 5 secured to the lower wall or? the chir'nne and having a loop 6 which coliperates with similar loops '2' on a plate 9 to form the straps or leaves of the hinge. Each hin e has a pivot pin 10 adapted slip into the loops 6 and X when they are ranged in alineinent with one another lock the ear and plate 9 ol each hinge together. Each plate is preferably provided with a loop ll adapted to receive a rod 12 which slides therein andis limited in its is preferably formed from the end portions of a piece of wire, the middle portion being curled to forma loop 14, which serves as a finger grip to move the pin androd of each hinge from its locking to its releasing position. The rod 12 is longer than'the pin 10 and allows the in to be drawn out of the loops 7 a sufficient distance to release the loop 6 before-the stop 13 contacts with the loop 11. l/Vith this construction I am able to disengage both sides of the chimney from the stove or only one side, as desired. For

convenience in carrying the stove I provide a bail 15 attached to the chimney by cars 16. The hinge connection of the chimney or stack'with the stove allows the complete removal of the chimney from the stove or its separation from one side only to allow it to be tilted on the other hinge or pivot to expose the burner, as shown'in Fig. 2.

The carrying bail facilitates very materially the transportation of the stove from place to place, as from one box car to another. Oftentimes the bottom and sides of stoves of this kind become greasy through the presence of oil thereon or from coming in contact with the floor of the car, and if it were necessary to carry the stove bodily in the arms it would healrnost impossible to prevent the hands and clothing from becoming soiled. The use of the bail elimi nates entirely all this annoyance incidental to an ordinary oil stove and permits it to bepicked up with one hand and transported.

ll claim as my invention:

1. The combination, with a heater having a burner, of a chimney having hinged con nections therewith. on each side of said burner, said hinged connections including loops mounted respectively onsaid heater and on said. chimney and sliding hinge pins passing'throngh said loops, either one of said hinge pins losing capahle oi withdrawal from loops to allow the chimney he tilted on other pi; and loops, said heater having guides thereon and said hinge pins havi members which are slidahle in said guides and. provided with stops for lin the Withdrawal o1? said hinged pin i irona a lDUlillEl, of a chimney having loops thereon, loops mounted on said heater and adaph ed to register with said chimney loops, guide loops mounted on said heater, pivot pins slidahly rnonnwd in said hinge loops and conihination, "with a heater having also having shanks which are slidable in said guide loops and provided with stops for limiting their movement in said guide loops, said hinge ins and said guide shanks being substantial y parallel, the disengagement of a hinge pin from the chimney loop on one side allowing the chimney to be tilted on the hinge pin on the opposite side, said guide shanks preventing a complete withdrawal of said hinge pins'from said 10 loolps. n witness whereof, I have hereunto set my h'and this 14th day of December 1909 FREDERICK CONRATH.
